*** That's...better??

* In [[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/sting-26-1/ Chapter 26.1]] of ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', when Nice Guy's {{Glamour}} superpower is preventing the heroes from realizing he's an enemy they have to kill, Imp's PerceptionFilter superpower lets her through his defenses. She slits his throat, kicks him down the stairs into an acid trap, and tells his dying body: "My schtick."

*** Ironically, this line was [[TheSilentBob Silent Bob's]] only line in the movie.
*** No it's not-- when Rufus says he can get get "him" (meaning Jay) into Heaven, Bob takes it to mean him (or both of them) and says "thanks"

* ''[[CiemWebcomicSeries Ciem 3]]'' has Dolly Malestrom/The Earwig, after killing a band of pedophile gangsters, KillBill-style:
-->'''Dolly''': "Nice [[{{Gorn}} gallbladder]]!"

The {{Trope Namer|s}} is Film/JamesBond, who does this in every single one of his films.[[note]]The early films were done under the onus of the HaysCode, and used these quips to downplay the violence; later films simply carried on the tradition.[[/note]] Ditto Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, but [[StealthPun Bond's have more pun]].

* [[http://xkcd.com/813/ This]] {{xkcd}} strip has a few of the less likely possible possibilities.

** In ''Skelaton Key'' when he uses a magnet-crane on Conrad, a villain with metal pins in his body, he remarks: "What an attractive man."

* Subverted/parodied in two of Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels. In ''Discworld/TheFifthElephant'', Samuel Vimes mutters "The hell with it" after killing the villain in self-defense, because if he ''had'' been able to joke about killing someone, then it would have been too much like murder. In a later novel, ''Discworld/GoingPostal'', the narration indicates that if protagonist Moist von Lipwig had been "a hero," he would have thrown off a one-liner after tricking a monster into a gruesome death, but "since he wasn't a hero, he threw up."
** During the above statement where Vimes remarked about the distastefulness of the Bond oneliner, he did think of a few possible lines, and rejected them.

*** Pity that that only serves the Blood God...
*** "Blood for the Blood God!" "Harriers for the cup!"

* Parodied in ''Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones'', when Alcatraz unleashes a HurricaneOfPuns using the word [[spoiler:soul]] after [[spoiler:tricking the VillainOfTheWeek into taking a book in the Library of Alexandria - which constitutes a contract to allow the Library's curators to claim your soul]]. All right, so it's not ''technically'' killing, but that's part of the joke.

** Dropping a snowmobile on Dr Grief in ''PointBlanc'', "It looks like I sleighed him."
** Using a magnet-crane on a villain with metal pins in his body: "What an attractive man."
** The villain of the fourth book gets thrown out of Air Force One while "riding" a food trolley: "He went off his trolley."

*** Also, Nick Diamond from the Diamond Brothers Mysteries does this quite a lot.

* Tony says a couple of these in ''Film/IronMan3''.

* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Kurama defeats Roto by secretly planting a Death Plant seed in his chest. The plant sucks up Roto's body fluids and then sprouts from his corpse. Kuruma remarks, "How ironic. Such a beautiful plant... from such ugly soil."

--.'''Colonel Philips''': Let's go find two more.

* In the first English dub of ''Manga/DragonBall Z'', Frieza, on surviving the Spirit Bomb, killed Krillin by making him explode before snidely commenting "Pop goes the weasel".
** Krillin himself gets a hilarious one when he defeats Chiaotzu in the World Martial Arts Tournament. He broke the latter's concentration by asking him math questions, including "What's 9 - 1?". After Chiaotzu lost, Krillin coolly said "the answer...is eight".

* ''StationeryVoyagers'' has Cindy announce the death of an Aviatet as he's thrown by an angel onto a burning high school parking lot this way:
-->"Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey's in the oven!"
